New decision: Consecutive sentence affirmed

In State v Boldus the 19 year old driver with a blood alcohol content of .11 pled guilty to vehicular homicide by recklessness and leaving the scene. His four + one consecutive sentence was affirmed. His request for alternative sentencing was denied.

The defendant and victim were underage and drinking the night of the crash. To the defendant's credit, he wore a SCRAM bracelet on bond from December 2009 until his sentencing which confirmed he had consumed no alcohol during that time. Let's hope that the behavior that led to this tragedy is never repeated and that the victim family, defendant and defendant family heal.

One teen will never come home again. Boldus was the lucky one in this case.
